Everyone can swim nowadays, but synchronized swimming is actually something completely different. This is not something that can be learned during swimming lessons. There are special techniques to use and it takes a long time to master.
What is Synchronized Swimming?
It's actually ballet in the water. Certain exercises are performed with a focus on performing these exercises simultaneously and synchronously. Flexibility and a lot of lung capacity is important to perform these exercises, but this can of course also be trained and practiced.
What are the different techniques?
Special techniques are therefore required to perform these exercises. If you are not yet familiar with synchronized swimming then these techniques will not mean anything to you, I have a good explanation for this.
Water
treading This water treading is similar to what we know, but it is performed slightly differently. They are in a sitting position where they kick in circles with two legs. This keeps them high out of the water and they have their arms free to make figures.
Pry
This is the same idea as treading water, but with the arms. The water is pushed away allowing them to put their legs out of the water and into the air.
Lifts
There is also a lift with synchronized swimming. This makes it all a bit more difficult of course. The one that is lifted is in the middle, the rest around it goes in water stairs so that someone can get higher out of the water. However, this is only for a short time because the water treading often cannot be maintained constantly, this requires a lot of force.
Different figures
Hundreds of figures are possible with synchronized swimming. It is nice to let this flow over well and to finish the exercises well. They can be carried out underwater, above water or floating on water. During a competition points are given for the execution but also for the creativity.
It is therefore much more difficult to synchronize swimming with the different techniques.
